[?] Boolean values by Spunky on 02-28-2008 at 01:02 PM

Another n00b question.

code:
    show_in_psm = new Boolean(get("show_in_psm")*1);

Should return a boolean value that equals true right? Well, instead I get an object. Whats the deal-i-o? :p

show_in_psm = (get("show_in_psm")*1)>0;
would probably work :)

Thanks. Had to use *-1 though because it's a negative value in the registry :p

EDIT: But still, why was I getting an object?

because its a wrapper class for a primitive type to get the primitive type use the valueOf method

code:
var x = new Boolean(1);
var bool = x.valueOf();
